The fellowships are funded through the International Climate Initiative. The Initiative (IKI) became the responsibility of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) in 2022. The IKI programme cooperates with its founding ministry, the Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV), as well as the Federal Foreign Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Postdocs from developing and emerging countries whose research work is not related to climate protection or climate-related resource conservation may apply for a Georg Forster Research Fellowship<\/a> , if their research has relevance for the future development of their region of origin. Otherwise there is the possibility for applying for a Humboldt Research Fellowship<\/a>.
